When it comes to online gaming, we can all agree that speed is paramount. A fast and stable internet connection can mean the difference between victory and defeat in competitive matches. This blog will compare different internet packages to help you determine which one best suits your gaming needs.

Understanding Internet Speed

Before diving into specific packages, what you need and how to get it, it’s important to understand what internet speed means in the context of gaming. Internet speed is typically measured in Kilobytes (KB), Megabits (Mbps), or even Gigabits (Gbps). These internet speeds indicate how quickly data can be downloaded or uploaded.

For online gaming, lower latency (the time it takes for data to travel from your device to the game server) is crucial. Ideally, gamers should aim for speeds of at least 25 Mbps for seamless gameplay.

Choosing the Right Package

When selecting an internet package with us, consider your gaming habits first if that makes sense. If you play competitive online games frequently or stream while playing, opt for one of the fibre plans with higher speeds.

For casual gaming sessions with friends and family, or streaming less demanding content like indie games or retro titles, the DSL package may be suitable for your needs, but that doesn't mean the other packages won't be effective either
